-
Where have the fellows gone who
yelled so vociferously that Gov. CHURCH
wouldn't dare stand by his action in the
WEBB-BRowN case?
~
Those Yankton fellows are bluffing,
but the governor, it is safe to bet, will
not lay down his hand.
M
There are no further developments in
the DAY disruption conspiracy. Isn't it
just possible that Editor PIERCE was Off
his base?
The Milbank Index editor would evil
IDENTIFY relish making square meal off
the flesh of his unfortunate rival, VoI.K-
MAR-and that, too, witheCt pepper or
salt. He should endeavor to curb his
appetite-at least until VoLKSiAR is re-
leased from Jail, so that he can get at
him..
People who value euriositieS should
cut out and frame the editorial headed
"North Dakota Speaks" printed in the
Pioneer Press the morning after the
division convention at Fargo. Even
Gen. CAMPBELL could be thrown into
commissions of laughter by showing it to
him after the votes have been counted
in November.
The feeling in regard to division in
North Dakota was very aptly illustrated
by the meeting called at Jamestown to
elect eight delegates to the Fargo con-
vention. Not a solitary man put in an
appearance. This is a pointer for the
writer of the editorial in the Pioneer
Press headed, "NOrth Dakota Speaks"
~
The GLOBE has the most profound re-
spect and admiration for Col PETIT
GREW, the Sioux Falls statesman, and it
hopes there will be no malice ON his
part because of the exposure of his little
scheme. 1t had to be done in the inter-
est of Dakota political justice.
~
Col. PLUN1AiER will likely desert the
ranks of the ProhibitioniStS after seeing
his picture nto-day's GLOBE. 1t might
be well to explain that the picture is
made from photograph taken while he
and two partners were endeayOring to
live out of the proceeds of a weekly
paper at Aberdeen.
~
Commissioner MCCLURE and Gen
SARGENT should hold mass meeting
and compare notes, 1t won't do to leave
the wheat statistics in their present
shape.
What has Editor BOWEN, of the Yank-
tonIPress and Dakotian, to say about his
conversation with JOHN BATES, at HUI
ron, during which he made charges Of
venality in the management of the in
sane asylum? Mr.. BOWEN has written
a card denying that he ever made such
charges to Gov. CHURCH. Will he deny
making them to JOHN BATES? Come.
BOWEN, toe the mark.
~
A little one for Editor PIERCE. If the
railroads own q per cent. of the prop
erty in the territory, what reason is
there why they should only pay per
cent of all the taxes that are paid?
~
Auditor WARD seems to have the rail-
roads on the hip. They must come
down with their just taxes.
~
The HILLS seem to be quite popular in
Dakota just now-for instance, JAMES
j. and the Ohio eX-congressman. They
are non-residents and not mixed up
with any of the political factions.
~
The question as to who is the WAR
WICK of Dakota polities-M. II. DAY OF
Maj. EDwARDS-should be settled at
once. There is too much of strain on
the people now while the CAMPBELL
campaign is i'll progress.
~
The governor set trap for the Yank-
ton boodlers, and they fell into it. AS
soon as they violated the law by going
ahead with illegal work the trap was
sprung. The governor now has solid
foundation upon which to stand. IT'S
| we'll!
The Yankton Improvements will now
be made, but the work will be done
| under the supervision of new board of
trustees.
The lobbyists will have tough time
| of it at the next session OF the legisla-
ture. Gov. CHURCH gives them fair
warning. The boards of the territorial
institutions, he says, which got such
| fat appropriations at the last session,
cannot work the same game again. on
| the score of deficiencies or otherwise.
| There seems to be firm hand on the
| door of the treasury.
~
Editor BOWEN, of the Yankton Free
Press and DakOtian, intimates that Col.
| SIIEAFE is one of the staff contributors
| of the GLOBE-no less a parsonage, in
| fact, than ''LoOker-In." Isn't it posi-
| BILE that the mysterious individual is
| JOHN BATES, of Huron?
~
Gov. CHURCH declares himself. in
favor of admission. And still this news
| is not likely to bring solace to the soul
| of Gen. HUGH j. CAMPBELL.
49,
Young Mr.. CARTER, the Canton edi-
tor, evidently leaped into the arena
without consulting any of his level
| headed friends. He sees his mistake
now that they have put him to bed and
dosed him with liver pills and plastered
| him with poultices. Mr.. CARRIERS evil
dent confidence in his ability to revolu-
tionize territorial politics was doubtless
inspired by the fact that he once gave
the support of his paper to the success
full ticket in an exciting municipal con-
test.
